Once upon a time, there was a pencil who loved to go on adventures. One day, he hopped on a boat and set sail on the sea. Along the way, he met a fish who asked for a ride. The pencil agreed and the fish jumped into the boat.

As they sailed, a strong wind blew their hat off and it landed on an Apple tree on a nearby island. The pencil and fish docked their boat and went to retrieve the hat. They found the hat, but noticed that the tree was covered in stamps! They started collecting them and soon had a whole collection.

Suddenly, they heard a beautiful ringing sound coming from the other side of the island. They followed the sound and found a bell attached to a flower. The flower explained that she was a magical flower and the bell rang every time someone made a wish.

The pencil and fish made a wish and the bell rang louder than ever before. The flower granted their wish and gave them a pen to capture their adventures. From that day forward, the pencil and fish sailed the seas, collecting stamps and ringing bells, always with a pen in hand to write about their travels.
